Multiple minor changes in the title do not equal a major
change (LCRI 21.2A)

Editing caveat: Even though no new record is created
when a minor change occurs in a serial title, the current serial MARC record
will often have to be adjusted, normally by adding 246 variant title access.

Records for a Spanish translation of an English serial
title: the original English title has changed from Annual report to In
review, and even though the title of the Spanish edition did not change, a
new record is created:

Annual report of the State Department of
Health of Alabama → Annual
report of Alabama State

Department of Health

Employee reporting in the Republic of South
Africa → Employee
reporting in South Africa

Biennal report of the State Superintendent of
Public Instruction for ... → Biennial report of the State Department of
Education [the State Superintendent of Public Instruction is a variant
form of the Dept. of Education]
